Is it normal to eat poop?
Hmm.Worth a closer look
Intentionally eating poop is uncommon and can expose you to germs that cause infections. If you’re doing it repeatedly or feel driven to, it’s worth talking with a healthcare professional without shame.
Most people don’t eat poop on purpose, and it isn’t safe: feces can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites. An accidental tiny exposure is a different situation from repeatedly wanting or choosing to eat it.
If this is something you’re doing, or the urge feels hard to control, talk with a healthcare professional—they can help figure out what’s behind it and what support would help. No need to feel embarrassed; they’ve heard more awkward things.
